WE discuss now Obama‘s seder in the White House. First such offi cial Passover religious meal ever in the presidential house ever to be attended by the president him self. There were rumors Martha Washington threw together a mean gefilte fish, and I my very own personal self heard Tommy Jefferson’s lady threw together a matzo ball chicken soup that would’ve knocked Benjamin Netanyahu‘s socks off. Of course, that’s only rumor. Not like they told it to me themselves or anything.

Anyway, Judaism’s holy day being actually celebrated at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. created more furor for the Hebrew people than that Pharaoh. Trust me, they got out of Egypt with less angst than Obama’s seder is now causing. The president’s wondrous idea, which carried a symbolic message and implied a statement of commitment, was a small affair. Maybe 20 people close to the first family. But big donors from big cities who were of the faith and deemed themselves insiders in terms of the new administration besieged the White House with requests.

It was, how could you do this to we who represent New York/Detroit/Chicago/LA/wherever? Not to include me, we, us (they also meant their wives, mothers-in-law and first born) is an affront to our city, which supported you. Even those who backed Bush had friends of friends make calls on their behalf. Congresspeople were called, high officials were called, political leaders were called. They wanted to know who went, who was invited, why weren’t they told?

Oy. Moses Himself may have to drop in to handle Rosh Hashanah.

BRITNEY, with a tattoo which she thought meant “mysterious” in Japa nese, was devastated to learn it meant “strange,” not mysterious . . . Hayden Christensen has a toy frog collection . . . Jay Leno on Michael Jackson: “Creepy. I had dinner with him. The chef put a plate down, then some mustached guy in a turban came out, tried everything on the plate for, like, four minutes. Then Michael eats it. I’m like, ‘Who’s trying to poison you?’ ”

EMILY Blunt, somehow always known as “That girl from ‘The Devil Wears Prada,’ ” says: “I don’t mind that. I loved the movie. Look, I started out as a penniless actress. I still own nothing except for my new house in London’s Notting Hill section. I now show up at events in glorious designer clothes that they lend me.”

In gray pantsuit, beaded bag, silver earrings and diamond jewelry — all of which was to go back next day — she said: “My mum loves these freebies, like the handbags that come her way. My sisters get gifts of makeup. From nothing, we are suddenly ridiculously indulged.”

Emily’s next, later this year, is “The Young Victoria,” a movie co-produced by Sarah Ferguson, Duchess of York. From this she “kept an antique ring.” Come November, she’s also out in “The Wolf Man” with Anthony Hopkins, “which is so frightening you should bring a blindfold.” From this one, she says she copped “nothing.”

And suddenly seeing yourself huge on a giant movie screen like in her current “The Great Buck Howard”? “Impossible. I rush to pluck certain hairs out. And a small scar on my nose, which was lasered out, somehow I still see it.”

THANKS to Madoffization, certain Palm Beachers are definitely for 100 percent sure unloading jewelry. Don’t let anyone tell you they’re not. I met one pro who’s buying the stuff and selling it . . . Paul Giamatti: “I think it would be interesting to be Paris Hilton, Cameron Diaz or Jessica Simpson. I know it sounds warped, but I think it would be fascinating to be one of those hottie glamour women for a little while.” . . . Kristin Chenoweth on Easter: “I’m a Christian, but to me church is overrated. It’s hope and love and what’s in your heart.” . . . Comic Howard Feller: “I went to a singles dance. I met a nice lady. She gave me her three telephone numbers. Unfortunately, she never gave me the other four.”

PER Google’s Eric Schmidt: Eventu ally, we’ll carry in our pockets a hard drive with so much information that it will frustrate us because any human being the age of a baby “will not be able to read it all until reaching age 87.” . . . Alan Alda visiting the Tower of Pisa was told by his guide it won’t just fall over but one day will explode from its central pressure. So he asked: “And you still allow visitors in here?” and was told: “No. We made an exception for you.” . . . Pia Lindstrom nailed her own interview show on Sirius XM radio. First guest — a really hard get — is her sister Isabella Rossellini . . . Billy Crystal to Jimmy Fallon: “I’ve thrown up scotch older than you.”

READER Rowena Lachant writes about a produce store in her neigh borhood with a sign stating there is an opening for a night manager who “must speak English.” She now asks: “Is this what we have come to — English as a second language?”
